I feel your pain. I went through the exact same set of problems and gave up on trying to make it try to check a local mirror first before going out to central. From what I can tell, the link to central is hard-coded into the Maven code as I have found no mention of any way to disable going to central first or at least change the order of what repositories are checked.

As far as I know it, Maven *always* checks Central first. Even if you define another repo somewhere else. One way people prevent this is by setting up Maven proxy and then setting that proxy as a mirror of Central in their settings.xml file. Then instead of Central, it checks your proxy for the files, and if your proxy doesn't have it, it goes out to Central on its own and retrieves them, and then provides them to your Maven process.
